Inside MANMADE TUNNELS In Davao's Filipino-Indonesian Town (Balut Island)

THESE TUNNELS WERE MANMADE, MANY YEARS AGO...

The Municipality of Sarangani actually comprises three islands that are part of Davao Occidental - the most well known is Balut Island, but there's also Sarangani Island and Olanivan Island.

Each has their own character - and a very unique culture created by the fusion of Indonesian, Sangil, Blaan and Bisaya populations found here!

In Sitio Ubas of Barangay Patuco on Sarangani Island, a tunnel was blasted through the rock connecting it to a neighbouring community even at high tide. Previously disconnected for half of the day, this made life easier for many people...

Balut Island is volcanic, and the climb to the top is certainly exhilarating along an exciting rough road! Coming down, it rained, thankfully once we were down already! We also tried to cook eggs in the sulphur spring... very daot!

Astang La Mia, a resto opposite the hotel, cooked up excellent curacha for dinner - I love the cuisine here!

The next day, we visited Olanivan Island - an eye-shaped, white sand, paradise beach island!

From here we toured Sarangani Island, and its azure blue waters. What a beautiful part of the world this is!

Finally, a reminder of the past at Marorong Island - where Villalobos was believed to have stayed during his ill-fated 1544 expedition, the Spanish eventually captured the islands in 1884 - not long before their colonial period ended. The fort remains - though restored, it sits in the harbour, protecting the poblacion of Mabila!
